I've Been Plotting and Planning...

During my recent hiatus from the site, I have been adjusting some of my plans in regards to the blog. A few things have been delayed, others will continue forward with only minor disruption, and a couple of brand new ideas have sprung to mind.

I was hoping to launch my "Radio TCoT" project this October, but I will have to delay that until the end of May. Until then, I'll use the time to learn and tinker with my sound editing software so that when I DO launch the podcast, I can present you with a decent product.

With the new computer, I can once again resume work on "Project Terror Wear"- which is what I've named the ongoing development of hoodie and t-shirt designs for the site. I have a couple of designs already created, and am working on getting them actually produced for sale. I'll be posting sneek peaks of these designs over time, and will keep you all updated on this project.

The first new "episode" of "What Movie Wednesday" will take place October 3rd- and I'm excited about it. I've really missed having people vote on the movies I watch and tweet to. Also, keep your eyes open at the end of May for a "Special Announcement" regarding this feature!

One new project is my new blog, "Life in the Corner." With this blog, I'll be gving everyone a look at the life of a blogger and reviewer. You'll get a glimpse at the behind the scenes of what I do here at "The Corner of Terror," as well as away from the desk. I'm hoping that it'll be as interesting and entertaining as what I do here. My first entry there will be on October 8th!

Okay, so there's a quick update on the things I've got on the go right now. I hope you're all as excited about the days, weeks, months ahead as I am!

Grave Questions: Jessica Cameron

February is " Women in Horror Month "- a month in which to celebrate the impact that women have had on the genre and the industry- from writing, to acting, to directing and producing. Jessica Cameron has experienced the industry in all those capacity- making her a perfect choice for me to ask some " Grave Questions " of in order to raise awareness of the great women in Horror. Please not that this article SHOULD'VE been posted in February, but due to technical difficulties, we're putting it up now. Thank you. TCoT : Which female horror stars helped to inspire you to not only enjoy the genre- but to get involved in bringing scary movies to the world? Jessica : I literally said to my " Truth or Dare " producer, "If the Soska sisters can make " Dead Hooker in a Trunk " with nothing, then I can make " Truth or Dare ". So needless to say that those girls have been a huge inspiration in everything I do behind the

Meridian: Kiss of the Beast (1990)

Sometimes, a director/producer will surprise you- such was the case during " Terrorpolooza 2012 " when I watched Charles Band's " Meridian: Kiss of the Beast " Catherine Bomarzini has come home after her father's death. Needing company, she asks Gina to stay with her. Soon, the two meet a wondering troupe of performers that Catherine invites to dinner at her castle. Catherine find herself pulled into a love triangle and an ancient curse that only she can break. After watching movies like " Evil Bong ", and " Demonic Toys ", I really wasn't expecting too much from this Charles Band movie- but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The story is actually quite interesting with lots of potential for eerie scenes, and character development. It's a nice twist on the classic " Beauty and the Beast " story. It's a bit slower than most of Band's other works, but moves smoothly and draws you with it. I have to ad

The Phantom of the Opera

Not too long ago, I reviewed the silent horror classic, "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror", and wound up being in the mood to view a few other of the silent horror films in my collection. The next one I watched was "The Phantom of the Opera", starring Lon Chaney, Sr, and released in 1925. A mysterious stranger has been threatening the star singer of the Paris Opera House- someone who has signs his letters simply as, "The Phantom". This stranger wants to clear the way so his protege, Christine Daae can ascend to stardom herself. Soon, her love for the Comte de Chagny collides with The Phantom's desire for Christine forcing both to take drastic actions in order to be with the one they love. " The Phantom of the Opera " actually underwent three periods of re-shoots and editing, due to poor reception and test viewings. In 1930, a sound version was created- often assumed to be what is called "The Eastman House Print". It is
